... and talking ....
An ongoing series of short musical pieces by Alfred Marseille. Based on speeches by Timothy Leary, Yuri Andropov and George W. Bush, readings of romantic 19th century poetry, a Hungarian language course, a London street preacher, fragments from old radio plays, a line from T S Eliot.
"Wanted" is an older piece that fits in nicely, made to a poem by Jan Baeke as part of the video installation "I have wanted for him" (more at publicthought.net)
Filmmaker JosdenbroK made a videoclip for "Indecision", while I composed the soundtrack for his award winning film "Kaspar Hauser Lied".

Indecision
For the composition Indecision video artist JosdenbroK created this animation using only cardboard, tape and a camera. The choice is between yes and no, black and white.
Summer 2014 Indecision was part of the Zomerexpo in the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag.
Kaspar Hauser Lied
This short film was made for the 2014 Art Visuals & Poetry Filmfestival in Vienna and was winner of the Special Award. The film is a collaboration between JosdenbroK (video) and Alfred Marseille (audio).
From the jury report:
The art work [...] offers versatile imaginative arrangement and a striking combination of drawn animation and moving image sequences to the text. Together with the coherent music composition a compelling work of art has been created. The film by Jos den Brok and Alfred Marseille on the text of Georg Trakl has been considered to the jury to be particularly outstanding and worthy to win the ART VISUALS Special Award 2013.
I have wanted for him
This project was devised as a video installation on three screens for the Ceasuur art gallery in Middelburg and shown there in december 2006. A two screen edition with an added soundtrack was made for the presentation at the VSB poetry awards in 2008 in Amsterdam, where Jan Baeke was one of the nominees.
This Vimeo version has the two screens from this presentation edited in one screen.
All scenes are based on cuts from the 1927 movie The Cat and the Canary.
